Reminds me of the time when we used to get up in the middle of the night for the “pitch ghairna” (pitch reservation) exercise. Whoever claimed first had the right to play on the pitch.
I lost the count on 13… Though I have not been blessed to play in these circumstances…I can assure you if someone who had played in these conditions (as yourself), especially as a batsman then he may had to survive all kinds of distrations including aussies “Sledging” :)
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP.
While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors
